This guy has been at my LFS for awhile now, pretty cool to watch him swim around:fish1:

Very cool. He doesn't seem to have too much trouble moving around. Is the missing tail due to a congenital condition or to accident/injury?

Wow that's amazing, kinda sad to see him without a tail but it's awesome it has such a strong will to live. Did you take him home?

He was NFS and the owner said it came in to him like that, wasn't sure how it happen!

Wow that's crazy. I bet his pectoral fins are getting a serious workout.

That's cool that the LFS kept him as I think most would not. He is a strong swimmer for no tail LOL. Nice vid.

Very strange looking. It looks like the fish is disappearing....

I think he looks awesome!

Joe told me he got his fin bit off by another fish when he was in the larger coral tanks. Pretty cool
